Chapter 35 Surprise Attack on Yannancang
The night is dark, there are no stars and no moon.
But there is a wind, and the wind is southeast.
Among the thorns, a group of foot soldiers wearing soft-soled fast boots and light armor walked quickly through the hazel thorns. Someone's face was scratched by thorns and drenched in blood, but he was also unconscious.
A huge one-legged ghost looms over the team, with a faint but hideous form.
"Mandrill?" Ji Hongyan asked in a low voice.
During the day today, Wu Feng issued a military order in front of the ten thousand troops, claiming that if he could not break Anxiang City within five days, he would be beheaded.
By evening, he had marched with two hundred soldiers through the mountains outside the city of Anxiang.
Wu Feng nodded.
"But...... There are no entities. Ji Hongyan said again.
"Because it's a summoned demon. Wu Feng replied calmly.
Ji Hongyan was slightly surprised: "The ring you used before...... Is it the Ring of the Wils?"
She looked at the clumsy ring on Wu Feng's hand, and saw that it was as white as bones, shaped like a ghost claw, and flashed with a mysterious light.
The ghost claws were deeply embedded in Wu Feng's flesh and skin, but Wu Feng seemed to be completely unconscious.
"It's just an imitation, so mobilizing the power of mandrills, that is, it can attract the energy of the mountains and make us move a little faster in the thorn bushes. Wu Feng said leisurely.
"Imitation ......" Ji Hongyan groaned, but did not speak again.
It can cover 200 people, even if it is an imitation, it is very unusual.
She also knew that this thing was very dangerous, and if she was not careful, she would be eaten back, and her soul would become nourishment for the demon spirit. But since Wu Feng dared to use this kind of thing, of course she would not dissuade it.
But she had to admit that this kind of thing did help a lot when fighting in small forces.
It was hard for the enemy to imagine that they could move so quickly through the steep mountains covered with thorns, even if they were longer than the troops.
"Wait...... Wu Fenggongzi, why do you keep going south?" a general asked, this partial general's name is Zhang Ziling, and he is stable and steady, and he is valued by Su Mengzhen.
"Why not?" Wu Feng asked with a casual expression.
Zhang Ziling said: "Now the hall master is working day and night, storming Anxiang City. Since we want to help break the city, of course, we will enter the city from the cliffs on both sides of Anxiang City and carry out a surprise attack. But now this posture is to go around to the back of the city......"
Wu Feng smiled: "It's not bad to attack from behind." β
Zhang Ziling hurriedly said: "The city wall behind Anxiang City is also extremely tall and thick, and we can't even touch a brick of the city wall......
"Yes. Wu Feng made a deep look: "Yes, I can't let the soldiers take risks, right?"
Wu Feng clapped his hands suddenly: "There is." β
Zhang Ziling asked, "What's there?"
Wu Feng looked up and said: "I wanted to say that I would take one step at a time, but I was afraid that everyone would mutiny." That's good......"
He paused in his voice, touched his chin, and deliberately sold off.
When Zhang Ziling and the others' eyes seemed to be about to pop out, Wu Feng said slowly: "In order to better configure the defenses in Anxiang City and prevent rocket attacks, the granary of Anxiang City is not located in the city, but behind the city, it is also an important grain and grass distribution center in Sanhe, which is called Yannancang. β
"Since it is not easy to attack the city, we touched it and burned down the granary, which is also a credit. β
Zhang Ziling hurriedly said: "Anxiang City can't be completely besieged, grain and grass are not a problem at all, what's the use of burning the warehouse? Even if it is successfully burned, it can continue to be transferred from Xiangyang City in a steady stream......
Wu Feng waved his hand and said: "But I made a military order and successfully burned it, at least you have merit." If I can't think of another way within five days, I'll be whipped for this merit, so that I don't really lose my head. And you will all have a rewardβisn't it beautiful?"
He said it very calmly and freely, which made Zhang Ziling feel that this kid was simply a madman.
However, isn't the hall master also a madman in many cases? But even a hall master like a madman can often come up with a strange plan that surprises everyone's imagination and destroy a strong enemy! It was not until afterwards that everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Zhang Ziling looked at Wu Feng and began to think.
Ji Hongyan didn't say a word anymore. Her blue robe and steel armor were covered with a black trench coat, which concealed her excellent figure.
Under the leadership of Wu Feng, the team dived down the mountain beam like a ghost.
Zhang Ziling only then spoke: "Young Master Wu Feng, I figured it out. β
"What's the explanation?" Wu Feng asked leisurely.
Zhang Ziling said with emotion: "The hall master really didn't see the wrong person. β
"He said that within five days, he would not break the peace and leave no head. Immediately, 200 of us disappeared from the camp of the shrine, and it was impossible to hide the sights that Mikawa had left in our army. Li Zhong must have thought of climbing the cliff and attacking the city, and he should cooperate with the large army attacking the city head-on. β
"Li Zhong is worried about the defense of the city, the granary must be empty, and we can burn the Yannan warehouse in one fell swoop. It is precisely because grain can be transferred from Xiangyang City that the enemy does not attach great importance to the granary. β
"However, now the morale of the Three Rivers Sword Sect is extremely low, and if the granary is burned again, it will be equivalent to giving them the most fatal blow. Reraising grain and grass from Xiangyang City required a lot of money and manpower, and the lords and common people who had already worked hard in the war would complain and turn away one after another. β
"With this fatal blow, the hall master will attack the city head-on, and he will be able to break through Anxiang City before the Shenxiao army arrives......"
Wu Feng clapped his hands and laughed: "Excellent, my Divine Hall really has a lot of talents." β
What he said was actually that within five days, if Su Mengzhen couldn't conquer Anxiang City, he would hand over his head!
Zhang Ziling's expression became solemn.
"Zhang is willing to die wholeheartedly for the great cause of my god hall, and follow Wu Feng's son to destroy the enemy army!"
Wu Feng's eyes swept in all directions, and he saw that he was full of fighting spirit.
"Very good, morale available. β
Wu Feng took out a vial from his arms, dipped the liquid in it and put it on his forehead: "Everyone come and order, be sober when you rob the camp." β
Everyone came over to order, and sure enough, a burst of mint-like coolness spread out, which was refreshing.
The eyes of the Divine Hall Soldiers were clear, and the enemy was regarded as a bag.
Yannancang.
The obese warehouse official looked lazy, dressed in splendid clothes, lying on a rattan chair and shaking a fan, directing the people to put the newly transported grain into the warehouse.
"Be careful, if you spoil the grain, you can't afford to pay for the raid of your house!" the warehouse official was arrogant, threatening the uneasy people.
The soldiers guarding the warehouse also showed laziness one by one, and seemed to pay no attention to this kind of work at all.
This is already the rear of Anxiang City, how can the enemy bypass Anxiang City? Over the mountains and mountains? It should be dawn when they come, how can they escape the ears and eyes of the rangers?
At this moment, several screams suddenly rang out.
"It's water, it's water!"
Cangguan was shocked and shouted: "It's the southeast direction, everyone go and fetch water to extinguish the fire...... Wait, it's an enemy attack!"
Blood splattered, and the screams of the people pierced the sky, throwing down grain and rushing in the huge granary road, stirring up chaos.
Most of them are ordinary people who have no cultivation, and a few are militiamen.
But the Templars had no mercy and slaughtered mercilessly, fueling their confusion with fear.
The scene of being driven out by the Three Rivers soldiers before is still vivid. Now it's just blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
The frightened Yan Nancang guards mustered up the courage to fight.
Zhang Ziling roared angrily, and killed three people in a row with a big knife, startling the enemy army to scatter.
Torches, pine oil, butter bombs and other kinds of ignitions were thrown into the granary. It was the height of summer, the weather was hot, and the southeast wind swept away, and the flames rose high into the sky in an instant!
Cangguan was shocked, the fat on his face trembled, and he completely lost his previous majesty. He suddenly offered a piece of money and lifted his body into the sky.
But one of the priests threw a fire bomb that was supposed to crash into the granary directly on him, and the unsuspecting barn officer screamed and fell.
If a cultivator who does not cultivate enough forcibly flies, his defense will drop significantly.
Several large knives slashed down at the same time, cutting him directly into meat sauce.
There was chaos in the field, and a sense of despair permeated.
Zhang Ziling praised: "Wu Feng's cunning can be regarded as having seen it below. β
The Shindo sergeants began to gather at the exit of the granary.
Wu Feng sank his mind into the ring of the demon spirit, and saw that in the raging flames, there were many phoenix-like human faces of fire balls, walking through them.
It was the demon spirit he summoned with the Demon Ring, the Phoenix Fire, to speed up the burning speed of the granary.
But at that moment, the clapping of hands rang out.
"That's a good plan, but you've got it. β
The black and oppressive Sanhe soldiers were lined up in front of Wu Feng and the others, taking advantage of the unstable formation of the Shentang soldiers, wearing armor and holding guns, and bravely rushed over.
Rumble!
"The power of the gun, the soul of frost!"
Jiu Zhong let out a long roar, and a dazzling cold light bloomed on the tip of the spear of the Three Rivers soldiers, converging into a wall of cold air, which swept away the scorching heat of summer in an instant.
The eight Shentang soldiers who bore the brunt were directly frozen into popsicles, and then their bodies were shattered and turned into frozen meat. Six others were wounded and killed, and seven were seriously injured.
And the military situation on the side of the Divine Hall was also chaotic in an instant.
This is Jiu Zhongji's mid-level infantry combat method - Frost and Snow Gun Soul, which can attack the enemy with extremely cold power, and can also reduce the enemy's morale.
Jiu Zhongci looked at Shi Shuzheng on the side, and then the two of them flew up and took Zhang Ziling, who was stunned.
"The young master has long expected your plan to attack the west, and the food is all fake food, just to lure you into the bait......"
Jiu Zhongci's wine gourd and Shi Shuzheng's stone lamp smashed down at the same time, and in the scream, Zhang Ziling, the general of the Divine Hall, was smashed into a ball of meat in an instant!
Before he died, Zhang Ziling threw a look of despair and hatred at Wu Feng, not hating him for killing himself, but hating Wu Feng for making mistakes.
Wu Feng saw that the soldiers of the Divine Hall were in a panic, but his eyes were horizontal.
"No, it's you who are the ones who are plotting. β
Wu Feng was in the chaos, but his expression was as calm as iron: "Li Xun must be in Changsha City, in the general altar of Shenxiao Dao, to persuade that group of important ministers of Shenxiao Dao. Otherwise, Long Aotian would not be able to send troops. β
"Li Zhong is indecisive, he only saw through my strategy a little, but he is not sure, and he does not dare to bet. So there are only three hundred of you here, and it is a young man like you who is leading the team, not Zhao Zhonggao, the leader of the Blood Killing Battalion!"
Wu Feng's voice became more and more resolute: "As for the fake grain, it is even more nonsense, it has only been more than half a day since I made the military order, how can you have time to transfer the grain and grass?
He sneered: "It is precisely because Li Xun is not at the scene that I dare to make such a dangerous plan temporarily, without worrying about being discovered." β
Jiu Zhongji's complexion changed drastically.
Wu Feng was completely right, Li Zhong was indeed indecisive, and he clearly guessed Wu Feng's intentions, but because he was not sure, he was deceived by Wu Feng into evenly distributing the troops to defend the position in the city that might be attacked by surprise.
Even he and Shi Shu were coming to set up an ambush, which he asked for. Otherwise, if you use Yong General to lead the troops, although there are 300 people, I am afraid that they will be easily defeated by Wu Feng.
But then he raised his eyebrows and said, "But you don't have to think about going back alive." After you are eliminated, I will immediately put out the fire with all my might, and I can still save some of the food and grass. β
Indeed, the surprise attack detachment of the Divine Hall was only two hundred people, less than the number of ambushes of Jiu Zhongji and others. And when he came up, he suffered a tactic and broke the general Zhang Ziling, and now the formation is unstable and morale is low.
Wu Feng's words could only calm the chaos of the soldiers, but they could not dispel their fears!
Ji Hongyan looked at Wu Feng angrily.
The mission is accomplished, but it also brings everyone into a desperate situation - doesn't this guy never think about the way back?
But I heard Wu Feng say lightly: "Then I think the same." The back gate of Anxiang City is quite far from here, and it is a big night, and no one has time to reinforce in a short time. We'll defeat you as quickly as possible, cross the mountain and return to the shrine headquarters, and the granary will be almost completely burned. β
